Setting a transformational target is an agile transformation success factor

It’s imperative a series of baseline capabilities are established during the design phase of the transformation so they can be constantly measured throughout to help identify Agile transformation adjustments and measure its progress.

Agile Transformation success is built on a robust business case that creates revolutionary change (not evolution) to ten key areas of the organisation. Current capabilities must have been captured (i.e. the as-is state) and the future capability defined (i.e. the to-be state), enabling those responsible for the transformation, stakeholders and senior sponsors to support a clear and concise strategy for success.
